Trails with Mile Markers in Michigan

Michigan has 96 trails with mile markers in this directory, across 61 cities and towns — Traverse City, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Alpena and 57 more. Marked miles for pacing and measured intervals, for when GPS drifts under trees.

Labels come from each trail's own listing, its website and runners' reviews. Conditions change with the weather and the season, and gates and lights follow the park's own hours, so check a recent review before you drive out.
